QOTD: yet another xenophobe
by digby
The Trump phenomenon is being treated like a big curiosity by all the pundits. But the truth is that xenophobes have been out there screaming about the foreign hordes for quite some time.
Here’s another one who thinks that we are about to be overrun with terrorists and that we need to arm up. You may remember this gun range owner from last year when she banned Muslims from her business:
This is not a coffee and donut shop. This is a live fire indoor shooting range. People come here to buy, rent, and shoot lethal weapons.
In the range, people are shooting guns in close proximity to each other, so my patrons depend on me and my discretion regarding who I allow to shoot beside them.
One mistake in judgement [sic] on my part could cost innocent people their lives.
Now she is speaking out about the possibility that the US may generously take 10,000 Syrian refugees and the threat they obviously pose. She appeared on Fox where the host asked her a very interesting question:
You have to worry about guns getting into the hands of the wrong people, so when you look at the idea of President Obama bringing 10,000 refugees in, many of whom could be extreme Muslims, that worries you, yes?
Guns could get into the hands of the wrong people? Say it ain’t so!
